Step into the dark

A different way of being entertained is coming to Werribee in March with Transmission – into the dark.

The sell-out hit of Melbourne and Adelaide Fringe involves audiences embarking on an intimate nocturnal journey that interweaves site-specific radio, installation, night-walking, and the sky.

The show includes walking outside at night, and inside through a building, which may include confined spaces, stairs, occasional low lighting, and moving lights.

Starting somewhere near the Wyndham Cultural Centre, those adventurous enough to heed the call will receive an address to a secret location once they purchase a ticket.

Through a radio transmitter, the next step.

A mysterious voice will come through the airwaves and lead you towards unknown destinations in Werribee.

With the dark night shrouding, you will traverse the streetscape and yet to be disclosed buildings.

This experience has been designed to expand the notion of theatre to being something that goes beyond one room, and blurs the boundaries between between performer and audience.

Due to venue constraints, parts of this show are not accessible. Please get in touch with the venue for further details.

Tickets can only be booked two at a time.

Transmission – into the dark has been designed to be intimate and shared with people you already know. Best experienced with known friends and family while respecting each other’s solitude.

The experience will run 7.30-10.10pm nightly between 24-28 March.
